My parents smoking all the time and people in my age group got me started. Mostly my parents though. My father said he would not forbid me from doing it. Even after he quit, he did not forbid me and I got hooked. My mom still smokes. My dad went 22 years w/o it. His example didn't stop me though. He still died from heart disease but it was blamed on his sedentary lifestyle and not from smoking previously. |
